Unexec is not directly in guile-core, but a working one exists in
guile-hobbit-1.3.3 (in contrib/misc at red-bean) for at least ELF
(includes Linux and Solaris) and HP-UX.
You cannot dyn-load code BEFORE unexec-ing. On some
machines, (HP-UX) you cannot dyn-load new code in the dumped
executable, at least for the moment.
If you are interested for other architectures, notice that the unexec code
was taken from emacs. So if it works on some machine
for emacs, it is technically possible to make it work for Guile.
Regards.
